On 16 Nov 2006 Google release the new version of GWT (Google Web Toolkit). As experts probably know, until this release GWT was not “develop-able” on MacOSX.
But the music is changing…

Edit Nov 22 2006:
On the Official GWT Blog:

After a couple weeks of fixing all the issues our developer community has so diligently reported in the issue tracker, we are happy to announce the official release of Google Web Toolkit 1.2 today.

As we mentioned when we released the 1.2 Release Candidate, you can now develop and debug with GWT on Mac OS X in addition to Linux and Windows. We are pretty proud of this particular feature because GWT is now about as “platform independent” as you can get: develop on Windows, Linux or Mac OS X and deploy to IE, Firefox, Safari and Opera on any platform, without any special cases in your code. (If you want a bit more detail about our implementation of Mac OS X support, our release nomenclature and other tidbits, this recent InfoQ interview may interest you.)

We also have already talked about how much faster the 1.2 hosted mode debugging environment is. And it is. If you’ve ever found yourself dropping to the command line using only the GWT compiler because hosted mode was too slow, you really should check out 1.2. Refreshes in hosted mode are almost instantaneous, and hosted mode lets you actually debug your code, which is nice…

Title: Microsoft, Wake Up and Smell Defeat!
Abstract: Craig bemoans the fate of the newly released “iPod killer”.

Zune, launched on the market few days ago, is getting only bad reviews and comments, and it’s the target of every show-man in the USA.
I’m not surprised about this: Zune have NO APPEAL!!! Look at EVERY iPod: the Apple’s product is so… sexy
About the Zune features? Oh sure, they are amazing: but do you really think this is a very good motivation to prefer it instead of iPod? With the new “iPod Touchscreen” under-development?
